Party Poker's slogan says "World's Largest Poker Room" which is actually incorrect. Traffic wise, they're on the second place. With European only traffic, however, that's quite an accomplishment.
Party Gaming managed to create Party Poker an online poker room powerhouse, and it was light years ahead of its competition before the Unlawlful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act was brought alive. PartyPoker.com used to run the softest $10/$20 No Limit Hold'em games (one, among many reasons it became popular) and it was a paradise for multi-tablers who played higher stakes. Party Gaming also operates Casino, Backgammon and Bingo games.

PartyPoker.com Review
PartyPoker.com is a very professional online poker room and they take this business very seriously. You can see this from how they treat their customers, coming up with great promotions and reliable customer support, plus how they treat all the players as they were "same". This means if a lower stakes player isn't allowed to do something, then a high stakes player won't be doing that either.
Players who multi-table Texas Holdem games should like Party Poker a lot, since their software is like made for Texas Holdem multi-tablers (as it probably is). Especially since they added table resizing as a feature. Alarm sounds, table resizing and being able to play 12 tables simultaneously, and a stable software is surely a great combination. You can't resize tables when you play Omaha or Seven Card Stud games, also you can only multi-table up to 4 tables at the same time.
Like you see from the picture next to this text, there are characters sitting at the table. These characters never move or do other disturbing stuff, they're just to make Party Poker look more like a "real" poker room.
Party Poker lobby is well-designed and easy to navigate through. You can see your account balance by only taking a look at the lobby, so there's no need to get into the cashier or open other windows (which can distract you from the game). You can also see the latest PartyPoker bonus promotions from the lobby. Party's lobby used to be worse but latest updates helped it significantly.
PartyPoker.com software's got two important features, too: player statistics and player notes. Both work well, although you could hope for widened variety of statistical details. Their player notes function works like it's supposed to. You can solve all the player statistics problems by purchasing Poker Tracker, though.
Deposit options at PartyPoker.com: VISA, MasterCard, NETeller, citadel, FirePay, wire transfer, bank draft, cashier's check, money order, eCheck, IGMPay. Withdrawal options are following: NETeller, wire transfer, check, eCheck. Party Poker's support is top quality - e-mail support is reliable and reasonably fast, while their 24/7 phone support is awesome and something every online poker room should have.
PartyPoker.net is a free version of the poker room where you can play free poker games, learn from free online tutorials and receive tips from poker pros. These tips aren't anything special but will help completely new players to understand some bits of poker. PartyPoker.net offers no real money games. You can only play free poker/play money poker at PartyPoker.net.
That's about it. I hope this Party Poker review was useful.
